Call me over sensitive, but I really hated this movie. From the racist caricature of the 'Chinaman' to the flippant treatment of rape (seriously, your romantic hero trades a night with his drunk girlfriend for another girl's panties...swoon), Sixteen Candles struck me as far more mean-spirited than funny. Yeah, yeah, "lighten up! It's just a movie!" I'll lighten up when race is more than a punchline, when boys learn that being too drunk to consent means no consent.
Cheap humour.
On the plus side, it's kind of a kick to see the technology of yesteryear. Floppy disks! Phones the size of your head!
